Add dynamic pattern (template) to Eclipse

[kevin_neale]

Hello experts,

I have written a dynamic pattern for finding objects in the ABAP editor (see https://blogs.sap.com/2022/10/31/add-find-method-to-the-abap-editor-patterns) and would like to add it to the Eclipse editor. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Best regards,

Kevin

You can certainly do it via an Eclipse plug in. https://www.eclipse.org/pde

How is your Java? 😉

Hi Matthew,

I looked into that and although I have written a few java apps I don't think I want to get into writing plugins for Eclipse. I think I will fall back on the OOS (Out of scope) excuse. 🙂

Oh, it's not so bad. I've written one.
